I just thought it would say something in the Kernel version, as mine says 2.6.32.9 now, and that's what it said earlier today, so I just wanted to make sure the kernel actually flashed correctly and I'm actually using it... lol

Thanks for the help!

edit - Saw your white text. =P Should I say what should the Kernel version show then, instead of say? =P
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
LOL, glad you caught it. ;)

regardless it will show the same with this kernel.

:D

try voodoo sound

check kernel version in setcpu.. go to info tab. 1st you'll see is what kernel you're running
[Vibrant Android Development] tduermeier:
Running full jfs since todays ups update, working beautifully on Bionix 1.3 using setcpu profiles. Also, don't know if it's relevant but I kept data network mode off while I was at work today, battery drained about 20% between unplugging at 8 and leaving work around 7. Not sure hour accurate that is, but it sure made me smile :)

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] reverendkjr:
Greetings!

Here are the next two installments of my Android Video Tutorials.

I call these "8 Minute Linux" since it explains how to set up and use a linux virtual environment in well under 10 minutes.

The first video explains in very easy to follow steps how to install VirtualBox and set up a simple Puppy Distro Linux that will allow the most novice of users to get a working linux without having to disrupt their Windows environment.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pkk9EGFe7lo

The second video assumes that you followed the first one and set up Puppy Linux. Then, it walks you through how to partition your micro sd card and create FAT32 and EXT partitions. This will allow you to create directories on the EXT partition that are necessary to be able to use some of the newer features of Dexter's (and others) builds.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6z1Tu9l8WNc

As usual, I will answer questions when possible, and also...

IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE DOING THIS, THEN DON'T!

More to come!:D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] earthsword:
so after creating the partition, will dexter's ROM automatically do the shifting onto SD card on boot? what's the next step to taking advantage of the .ext capabilities?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] reverendkjr:
It actually depends on which apps 2 whatever program you want to use. My objective with the video was to give you the tools to be able to create ext partitions. What you do from there is your decision. I personally, just created an "APP" folder and then let the patch move my apps to it. I have also tried link2sd, and after I made the folder on the ext partition, i booted up the phone and downloaded the app, link2sd, and it moved my apps into that folder. I stopped using that and started over though when I tried to use link2sd to move my dalvik cache, even though I had already created a folder for it on my sd card, link2sd tried moving it again and all hell broke loose.

I didn't specify any one process for doing this since there are like 5 different apps/processes to choose from and not everone wants to do it the same way.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] earthsword:
thanks for your info! If i were to choose the same method as you, how do i go about doing it? i know Mioze7Ae has a patch for dexter's 1.3 that is. But for a novice user like me, how do i go about doing this? I tried searching google for the answers but it's kind of too complicated to understand! Maybe u can direct me to a guide for one of these methods?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] reverendkjr:
If you do it my way, then make a directory called APP on your ext partition, and also a directory called DALVIK-CACHE. Then put Mioze7Ae's patch in the OPENRECOVERY/UPDATES directory on your FAT partition. Boot into OpenREcovery, and select run update, and chose the update. You don't have to unzip the file, just put the zip file in the updates directory. When you reboot, it should move your cache, and start using the app directory on your ext partition.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
Thank you so much reverendkjr

you just forget to say that you have to install the virtual box extension pack to use usb.

But i succeed to create my directory in my ext3 partition! (I used the gparted disk but we can t explore...)

but thank you very much for this first step in the linux world....
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] rationalthinker1:
What's th point of partitioning it with ext#?

I see a lot a post regarding it.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Woody:
Makes app2ext or Link2sd work, otherwise you'll run out of internal storage if you have abunch of apps.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Repsys7:
Is there any apps (obviously not from the market) that work like the Iphones installous where you just search apps and download them?

Also is there anyway to update non-market apps? or link them to the market so you can update?

Thanks guys :)

[Atrix 4G General] DukeL:
So I followed the steps here and my icons look so big and beautiful only problem is whenever I use anything but the default 240 size the dialer crashes and cannot be used whatsoever, anyone know how to fix this????

"use root explorer and edit /system/build.prop

find:

Quote:

ro.sf.lcd_density=240

Change the 240 to 260 (or something else), save the file, and reboot the phone

A Higher # will make everything BIGGER, including icons, fonts, etc

A lower # will make everything smaller"
[Atrix 4G General] DukeL:
Please somebody. Has anybody done this edit before??? Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] d.cortez:
there must be another setting to change to get the Dialer to work. i tried 248 and 275 (listed in the build.prop file) and it didn't work for me either. on my other android devices, i would simply find a font file and rename to DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf and then copy to /system/fonts/. i tried this on my first Atrix and it went into a continuous boot loop. i had to exchange for another device. DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID!
[Atrix 4G General] DukeL:
It would be great if someone knew how to fix this. I really think the icons look great its too bad the dialed keeps crashing!!
[Atrix 4G General] DukeL:

[Atrix 4G General] neer2005:
The Atrix checks and rechecks all files on every boot so this will brick your phone if the files dont match
[Atrix 4G General] d.cortez:
yep! i can testify to that, lol! makes me appreciate the ease of root and customization for my Nexus One (will never give it up!) and my wife's Inspire4G. i'd also like to punt this MotoBlah crap! i'm using Enhanced Email and the Blah contacts app is disabling my ability to select accounts i want to use to add new contacts...

not holding my breath on this, but i hope Moto makes good to unlock the bootloader and allow us to customize our devices.
[Atrix 4G General] DukeL:
Well the only thing i can see so far that has been negatively affected is the dialer. Everything else works fine.

With the higher resolution the icons have shrunk and to me look a little disproportionate on the ATRIX. This makes it look really nice and well spaced.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashefps:
Love the Incredibly Re-Engineered ROM, just a few issues here are there. The big one I noticed today was that the Navigation keeps giving me a force close.

I'm using version 2.3.0 of the ROM, and when using Navigation with Google Maps 5.1.0, either opening the app directly or opening from Maps after the GPS loads and finds my location I get the following error:

The applications Maps (process com.google.android.apps.maps) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

I have cleared the data and uninstalled the app then reinstalled from the Market, but I keep getting the same error.

The only changes I made to the ROM were to use the stock font, stock lockscreen and "update-4x4-Rosie-text".

Any ideas on how to fix this?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashefps:
I found out the solution. It actually had to do with eSpeak TTS being installed. Once removed everything started working correctly.

How dare I question the geniuses behind these ROMS!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattJackson86:
So I purchased a used G1 and I knew it has some software issues. I have no idea what version OS or anything is on this phone. Issue is it will not boot up into the OS. After researching (I am new to android) I have found what it can and what I cant get it to do. I can get into recovery mode no problem and after an ALT-L I see "Android System Recovery <2e>". The phone usually boots into this mode straight away, or I can hold home+power and it will enter the mode. Tried doing a "wipe data/factory reset" but nothing changes. If I reboot the phone and hold "back" I would expect it to enter Fastboot mode where I could do stuff. Instead I see the "rainbow screen" very briefly and then a message saying that if I want to restore factory setttings press send, otherwise hit any other key to cancel. No matter what I press nothing happens and I have to pull battery. I can only get into this mode every now and then. It seems pretty finicky about getting into it, and again no options when I do. Finally the camera+power to get into the bootloader does nothing. I can get the PC to see the phone when in recovery mode. It showed up as a mass storage device and i got that changed over to "Android Phone" by installing the SDK drivers.

Is there anything I can do on the recovery screen? That is the only thing that consistently works. I have tried a few update.zip files (various OTA updates I downloaded) but I either get a "No signature" error or it starts installing and then immediately get an "Installation aborted".

Any help to get this up and running would be appreciated. Hopefully its not just useless. For now an OEM 1.5 build is really all a i need. I can worry about updating/rooting later.

Download dream.nbh and format your sd card then place the dream onto ur sd card reboot holding home+cam button and let it do its magic that's how I fixed mine I'm sure if you go to the htc site you will find all the files u need just do a bit more research before trying this
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattJackson86:
I mentioned in my original post that the camera+power button to enter bootloader mode does not do anything. I have already researched solutions, but it only seems I have access to the recovery mode screen. What can be done from there to assist with this issue (if anything)?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattJackson86:
Does this require adb? I have not been successful in making my pc get an adb connection. When in recovery mode the phones shows up on my pc and I got it to show up as android, but "adb devices" does not show anything listed. Everything referencing adb says it needs USB Debugging enabled, but I cant do that I cant get into the OS to enable. I dont seem to be able to enter fastboot mode either (see original post).

ota-radio-1_22_14_11.zip

I did a Wipe data and Cache before each update.zip attempt and this was using the "Android system recovery <2e>" screen.

Ideas? I will look and see if I can add a signature to the radio files.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevenc19:
dont spose u flashed the recovery with clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.7

too short
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattJackson86:
I have not been successful flashing anything to the phone so far. All this was done via the "Android system recovery <2e>".

I signed the radio files myself, but they came out identical and same issues occurred. No idea what the "No signature" error is. Seems like a bunch of people get it on the forums, but no solutions. No idea why the good updates suddenly abort.

i think your home button maybe stuck lol

far to short
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattJackson86:
You know thats not a bad idea. It does actually boot into recovery mode without holding the home button like you are meant to. Would holding home when powering on prevent the boot loader from starting if I hold the camera button?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevenc19:
on my g1 if i hold home power and cam buttons i get the bootloader/fastboot menu
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattJackson86:
So I ordered a new battery for it today too. The phone does not seem to work too long without being plugged in. Maybe that will help.

I also managed to capture some pictures of the screens I have, so maybe that will assist people with diagnosing the issue.

The first is the rainbow screen I get when holding back on a reboot. It flashes for 1 second or so and then displays the white screen with blue text. The last pic is the recovery menu I have access to.

It looks like this is a fully stock phone, no flashes. I am going to keep trying to get into that bootloader screen. Getting into the rainbow screen works once every 20 tries or so. Maybe the bootloader is similar. Hitting send on the white screen does nothing and requires a battery pull to reset phone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevenc19:
how long can you stay in the coloured menu for ?????? also what happens if you stay there like what options do you get???
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattJackson86:
The colored menu only stays for a brief second and then changes to the white screen with blue text.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevenc19:
ok so i want you to download rc7 dreaimg.nbh reformat your sd card put the dreamimg.nbh on the card and try and get in to the coloured screen hopefully that should install the dreaimg.nbh then if it does ill guid you from there
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattJackson86:
will do. I have tried this before, but will try again.

Formatted the SD card to FAT32 and placed "DREAIMG.nbh" on it. From there I will reboot holding the "back" key and get into the colored screen and that white/blue text message. Will let you know when I get there.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattJackson86:
Ok, I am now sitting on the white screen with blue text. SD card in the phone with DREAIMG.nbh on it.

What next? It has not asked for anything and done nothing different than it usually does.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael2041:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevenc19:
just press the trackball in lol
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattJackson86:
Phones acting dumb and trying to get back to that screen. Im sure I tried pushing the trackball. I pushed every other button to see.

According to this document on page 16:

http://mikechannon.net/PDF Manuals/HTC Dream SM (A04).pdf

This is the exact mode I am entering and the method I use to enter it. But pressing send does nothing! Some system file must be corrupt on the device but I am losing hope in finding a way to resolve the issue.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevenc19:
im sure you'll figure something out ill keep tryin to help
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevenc19:
when you get here press the power button :) and leave it to install
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattJackson86:
Should the phone say its doing something? I press power, send, trackball, and nothing seems to happen. It says to press "Send"....
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevenc19:
Think you can upload a video of the process????
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattJackson86:
Dont have a video camera. The pictures I took tell the whole story though.

Regular power on always takes you to recovery mode

Reboot from recovery and hold "back" and you sometime get the colored screen which shows for no more than 1 second and then it changes to the white screen with blue text.

Sometime holding back will just bring up a black screen with the led staying RED. No G1 logo or anything first. I hit power and the phone instantly turns off. No idea what mode the black screen with solid red led is.

The above occurs with or without an SD card in the phone.

I just got the phone onto the white screen/blue text and hit send with the memory card and DREAIMG.NBH file on the SD card. Hit send and am leaving it 10 mins, but I dont see anything changing. Just sitting at that screen.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattJackson86:
Well ive been trying for 20 mins or so. Phone wont do anything but boot into recovery mode. Holding back doesnt seem to work, and if/when it does I dont think its the right mode to be in anyways. I need the bootloader mode to read DREAIMG.nbh.

How could the bootloader get screwed up? It seems that overall the phone is all legit and not been flashed or anything.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Mooozer:
well if u want to hang around for 'bout 2h or so you can do it in paint.net ^^

simply do a resize for the width (as i assume the width:height ratio is a bit different than that of our mini, you have to resize it so that the second lenght - either width or height is bigger than the resolution of your mini/pro) [ctrl] +

(make shure "keep aspect ratio" is checked) & then choose the option right beneathe the resize feature in the pulldown menue (dunno the english translation, kb shortcut is [ctrl]+[shift]+

) change the second length to fit the resolution (make shure "keep aspect ratio" is NOT checked)

frankly, after doing this 87 times you are bit brainf**** ^^

but if u do, simply push your images back in the zip, put zip back on phone & set permissions

[Defy General] iamnik:
Well, I searched the forums and haven't found anything specifically for the Defy.

Coming from an HTC Wildfire, which under similar usage had a battery drain split of 30% Cell standby, 30% wifi, 30% system, I noticed that with the exact same usage, the Defy has a cell standby use of over 50% every single day (right now its at 54%). Funny thing is, it ALWAYS says on the battery manager that there is no reception for exactly 50% of the time. This is bull, because I live in central London, and I rarely get less than maximum signal displayed.

Also, I'm on WiFi almost all the time, (WiFi at home and at uni, so the only time it uses 3g/HSPA is on the way there and back, which is less than half an hour).

Has anyone else had this? Any idea what may cause it? I feel like I should be getting better battery life than what I'm getting now, it lasts under a day.
